World Cup

World Cup Soccer // Ammo the Dachshund // Team USA

Today marks the official start of the FIFA World Cup, and if you haven’t guessed already I’m a huge soccer (football to many of you) fan just like my dad.

It’s also probably quite obvious that I’m rooting for team USA….after all I am an American.

But you know, if they allowed dogs to tryout for the team I probably would be their star player right now (well and if they made soccer cleats in puppy sizes). Even better than Clint Dempsey!

Not only would I look great in the USA uniform, but I’m also quite exceptional with the soccer ball.

Dribbling and passing, even goal scoring – I can do it all!

I’ve even mastered my GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAL yell! And after all, that’s the most important part when it comes to soccer!

So hopefully without my awesome soccer skills USA can still take home the World Cup title, although it would of been a heck of a lot easier with me on the team!

Tuesday Night Lights

Last night I attended my very first men’s college soccer game at the University of Delaware.

As fascinating as it was to watch the Blue Hens play Lafayette, I actually didn’t attend the game specifically to watch the men’s soccer team play. (sorry boys).

Nope, I actually had my eye on the sidelines for a good part of the time.

See the girl on the end there? That’s my Aunt Laurel – and she’s a senior in the Athletic Training Program at the University of Delaware. So while the boys were busy trying to score goals, Laurel was tending to bloody noses, helping hobbling players off the field and icing legs. Pretty cool right?

In fact I was so excited to come support the team that I even wore my blue and gold winter coat (you know, in Delaware colors).

Everyone thought I was the BIGGEST fan ever…..I didn’t argue, because no one has to know it was my very first game. hehe.

 

You can check out the game day recap here (sadly UD lost) but it’s still fun to look at the senior appreciation photo up top where my Aunt Laurel is pictured second to last on the right.
